18．Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color，according to study in Germany．
（36）EExperts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive．
（37）F On the other hand，the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confident．
The study，by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster，was reported in New Scientist magazine．They showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42 experienced referees．One fighter wore blue and the other wore red．They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors．（38）B"If one competitor is strong and the other is weak，it won't change the outcome of the fight，"said Norbert Hagemann，who led the study．"（39）G"

17．French writer Frantz Fanon once said："To speak a language is to take on a world，a culture．"Since the world changes every day，so does our language．
More than 300new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary，and in one way or another they are all reflections of today's changing world．
After a year that was politically unstable，it's not hard to understand the fact that people's political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary．One example is"clicktivism"，a compound of"click"and"activism"．It refers to"armchair activists"-people who support a political or social cause，but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone．And"otherize"is a verb for"other"that means to alienate （使疏远） people who are different from ourselves-whether that be different skin color，religious belief or sexuality．
"We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary，"Angus Stevenson，Oxford Dictionaries'head of content development，told The Guardian．
Lifestyle is also changing our language．For example，"fitspiration"-a compound of"fit"and"inspiration"-refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy．
The phrase"climate refugee"-someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change-reflects people's concern for the environment．
According to Stevenson，social media was the main source for the new expressions．"People feel much freer to coin their own words these days，"he said．
But still，not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary．If you want to create your own hit words，Stevenson's suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful，but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud．

Then she underwent a routine health checkup，and her perfect world broke down．Her doctor told her that she had pancreatic（胰腺） cancer．Surgery was necessary to determine how much the cancer had spread．Hannah was operated on a week later．The surgeon suspected that cancer had spread to vital organs．Ten days later，the lab confirmed his suspicions．
Hannah's doctor said he could treat her with chemotherapy and painkillers，but it was just a matter of time before the cancer killed her．She asked how much time．He guessed that she had less than a year to live．How can this be，Hannah wondered．Doesn't this always happen to someone else？

15．During my stay in Paris，my little son _______ some French by playing with the native boys and girls．（　　）

14．As children return to school this fall and sign up for a new year's worth of  extracurricular（课外的）activities，parents should keep one question in mind．Whether your kid loves Little League or gymnastics，ask the program organizers this："Which kids get awards？"If the answer is"Everybody gets a souvenir"，please find another program．
I have spent years reporting on the effects of praise and rewards on kids．The science is clear．
Awards can be powerful motivators（动力），but nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed．
Instead．it can make them fail to realize their full potential．
It turns out that，once kids are expert in a task，the excitement and uncertainty of real competition may become the activity'S very appeal．
If children know they will automatically get an award，what is the motivator for improvement？
Why bother learning problem-solving skills，when there are never obstacles to begin with？
It's accepted that，before punishing children，we must consider their individual levels of cognitive（认知的）and emotional development．Then we monitor them，changing our approach if there's a negative outcome．However，when it comes to rewards，people argue that kids must be treated equally：Everyone must always win．That is misguided．And there are negative outcomes．Not just for specific children，but for society as a whole．
"In life，you're going to lose more often than you win，even if you're good at something，"Ms．
Twenge told me．"You've got to get used to that to keep going．"
When  children  make  mistakes，our job  should not be to spin those 10sses  into decorated victories．Instead，our job is to help kids overcome barriers，to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss，and to help them politely congratulate the child who succeeded even when they failed．
This school year，let's fight for a kid's right to lose．

12．When tea was first brought to England between 1652and 1654，it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it．It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat．But they did not know how it ought to be used．Eventually they boiled the leaves，put some ofthem on a piece of bacon for dinner，ate the leaves，and threw the tea soup away．However，tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale（麦芽酒）as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition．
Before the introduction of tea into Britain，the English had two main meals-breakfast and dinner．Breakfast was ale，bread and beef．Dinner was a long，massive meal at the end of the day．It was no wonder that Anna，the Duchess of Bedford （1788-1861）experienced a "sinking feeling" in the late afternoon．So she invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at five o'clock in her castle．The menu centered around small cakes，bread and butter sandwiches，and，of course，tea．This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London，sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for"tea and a walking the fields"．
The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses．A common pattern of service soon came into practice．The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests，surrounded by fine porcelain（瓷器）from China．The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second pot （usually silver） that was kept heated over a small flame．Food and tea was then passed among the guests，the main purpose of the visiting being conversation．

10．Under the Dome，a 103-minute documentary self-funded by former news anchor Chai Jing，was released on video-sharing websites in China on Feb 28．It has rapidly pushed the public awareness about air pollution and encouraged people to join in efforts to make a difference．
Chai，39，said she started the work out of her"personal clashes"with smog after she gave birth to a daughter．"I sealed tight all the windows．I started every day by checking the air pollution index，"Chai said．Millions of other people are also doing the same．While they stop there，Chai goes deeper．"I don't want to live in this way．I need to find out where the smog comes from and what on earth is going on．"
After a year's research，Chai reveals that the burning of coal and oil contributes to 60percent of PM2.5pollutants．She thus questions the country's energy consumption habits in the film．Then she goes on to disclose loopholes （漏洞） in car emissions regulations，saying some of the laws have been in place for years，but have never been applied．The film also points at China's petroleum and steel industries as the biggest sources of air pollution．
The film has provoked national discussion after going viral online．Gruesome pictures of withered trees，murky skies，and babies under treatment have moved viewers．But most importantly，the film looks at solutions that the government and individuals can carry out to help．
Cheng Chen，a 22-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University，found the documentary"very inspiring"．"I used to think it's not my duty to deal with air pollution-I don't own a factory or a car，"said Cheng．"But Chai told me we share the same fate since we breathe the same air and there is a lot I can do．"
However，some people are annoyed by the film's description of their polluted hometowns，especially when it shows a banner from Xingtai in Hebei saying"Congratulations to our city for no longer being ranked the last place among the country's 74cities in terms of air quality"．Such a feeling of"being insulted"，in Cheng's eyes，could also be a good thing．
